    I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
    While playing music MP randomly crashes (usually after 5-30 minutes playtime). The displayed playtime stops counting, the running song is played to its end and then playing is stopped. MP has to be canceled with ctrl+alt+del. As codecs SAF4.00 is installed. I added the logs, but they give me no idea for a reason.

    Thanks for your fast answer.

    I get no message, the program just frezes.
    After disabling Audioscrobbler i had more than 1 hour perfect playing music !
    I will also try the new database.dll.

    :D

    Unfortunately the program keeps freezing in random periods.
    Audioscrobbler, lastfm, autoadd to database and all internet-lookups are disabled.The new database.dll is in place.
    The program freezes without any message. The watchdog-option is activated, but the watchdog comes only up after terminating MediaPortal with the taskmanager. After terminating MediaPortal the taskbar is gone.
    I have the assumption that this mainly/only happens when the PC was in Standby before.
    I added an actual logfile but i cant see any problems.

    Hello, me again ...
    Now i tried to use Winamp as player, but when i select a song the system runs through the list as it seems each song has a playtime of 0 seconds. As you can see in the follwing logpart the player stoppes immediately after starting the song.
    Winamp stays behind Mediaportal with one song in its playlist named "D", which has in fact no playtime.

    Hello Jameson,
    i had also no luck with PureAudio or the directshow-player.
    I am on the way to believe that the problem is not related to the player. Maybe the problem is the graphical frontend. When the program/frontend freezes the actual running song is always played to its end. This could also explain that the watchdog does not "realize" this problem.
    A hardware-specific problem is also possible. I use a (maybe rarely used) Atom-CPU. The used system-load for playing music is 40% of one core with seldom peaks to 80% for both cores. Maybe you can compare this with your system. Most of the power is used for the graphics. When the simple screensaver comes in the system-load goes down to 10 %. Would the program work stably when the system-load reaches 100% ?

    StreamedMP or Infoservice are not installed on my system.
    But i also think that some type of "background-job" interferes with the player.
